Often considered least important in normal life but prioritized in extreme cases, is the situation with pests and their problems, even, that is the bare truth of common Indian communities in many other instances. But good to be a self critic, this kind of practice is not healthy especially in case of pest problems. Because once spread they might become an immoderate danger causing incurable diseases worsening the surrounding environment. To get into detail, there are numerous number of pests that trouble humans in one or the other way such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, houseflies, wasps, termites, rodents. Many of these are usually found everywhere such as residential areas, offices, malls, public places which are actually supposed to be in dirty and untidy places. So, take a minute and make a thought on it, why are these found even in cleanest places like our houses and malls leaving their dumpy homes and drains?

Maintaining self clean places will definitely throw them out.

Keep clean your pets and also their food bowls that would depress the pest persistence.
